(Not available in Code view.) Lets you resize the Document window to predetermined or custom dimensions. When
you change the view size of a page in design or live view only the dimensions of the view size change. The document
size is unaltered.
In addition to predetermined and custom sizes, Dreamweaver also lists sizes specified in a media query. When you
select a size corresponding to a media query, Dreamweaver uses the media query to display the page. You can also
change the page orientation to preview the page for mobile devices where the page layout changes based on how the
device is held.
Property inspector overview
The Property Inspector lets you examine and edit the most common properties for the currently selected page element,
such as text or an inserted object. The contents of the Property Inspector vary depending on the element selected. For
example, if you select an image on your page, the Property Inspector changes to show properties for the image (such as
the file path to the image, the width and height of the image, the border around the image, if any, and so on).
The Property Inspector is at the lower edge of the workspace by default, but you can undock it and make it a floating
panel in the workspace.
